VCHRGD Technologies, a British EV charge point manufacturer, has confirmed that its electric vehicle chargers now integrate directly with Octopus Energy’s Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, enabling eligible users to access lower charging rates and automated smart charging schedules.
The integration applies across VCHRGD’s charging portfolio, including the Seven Pro 7.4kW home and business charger and the TwentyTwo Dual 22kW workplace and public model.
Intelligent Octopus Go automatically schedules charging for periods when energy prices and grid demand are at their lowest.
VCHRGD states that customers may be able to access rates from £0.07/kWh, depending on eligibility and tariff terms.
For wholesalers and installers, the company says the update is expected to drive interest from households and businesses looking for tariff-compatible charging equipment.
VCHRGD cites its reliability statistics and UK-based support team as factors contributing to long-term demand.
Founded in 2021, VCHRGD works with installers, distributors, and fleet operators across the UK. The company reports a high rate of positive customer feedback and a low proportion of charger replacements.
Tariff-linked charging and installer demand
Alex Watson, Founder and Technical Director at VCHRGD Technologies, comments, “Our integration with Intelligent Octopus Go is another step in making EV charging smarter, affordable, and more accessible.
“For resellers and installers, it’s a fantastic opportunity, and we’ve already seen that energy integrations can significantly boost sales opportunities in this space.
“By working with Octopus, we’re further strengthening our proposition for installers, giving them and the team here at VCHRGD a real edge in the market.”
VCHRGD says it plans to contact resellers and installation partners to support discussions with home and business owners considering the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff.
